As a matter of power, in other contexts, in prior avocations, there were stronger terms which were used as to the situation. But I would call it concessions of power. That is a nicer characterization than others might be. But anger flares around this place pretty fast. There are a hundred Senators. This Chamber is barely big enough to contain the egos when people are calm, let alone when tempers flare. Right now there is a lot of flare over here, although you can't see it.
